One final look at some of the pots the other SCSS members made. It was obvious that some of them had done this before. Their pots looked much more refined than mine.

The next step will be to glaze or stain the fired pots. I’m not sure yet what I will do, but maybe apply some darker brown accents. Or maybe I’ll simply glaze them to make them water-resistant.

This was so much fun, I hope we’ll do it again next year.

NOTE: Due to the overhead fluorescent lighting, my photos have a slight color cast. I tried to correct it but wasn’t entirely successful. The color of the red clay was very similar to the red rock formations we saw on our recent Southwest road trip, specifically in Sedona, AZ and Moab, UT.

It really was a blast! What a great way to get folk to a meeting! I felt like a little kid playing with playdough. Your photos are super, don't worry. Hey can you send me the pick of me? That would be so awesome!
